The Red-necked Grebe continues as of 7:30am today (1 May) at the end ofFishermen's Rd on French Island in La Crosse. Thanks to Jennifer Scholzefor the initial report on the 27th, and to Elista Fisher for confirming itwas still present yesterday! I guess it's hanging around while waiting forthe ice to break up farther north. It was hugging the shoreline again - ifyou can't see it from the very end of the road, walk back southeast on thedirt path and keep a close eye on the water.There were also 15 Willets on Airport Beach (also on Fishermen's Rd) at6:30am. Unfortunately, I did not see them on my way out at 7:45am. When Ifirst was watching them, they were regularly flushing as Bald Eagles flewoverhead, but would return immediately and did not mind cars or me on mybike. Maybe they're still in the area somewhere.
